Subject Lands: 56 Philmori Boulevard
Public Meeting for Zoning By-law Amendment in accordance with Section 34 of the Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990, as amended.
An application for Zoning By-law Amendment was received for the property located at 56 Philmori Boulevard known legally as Lot 107, Plan 59M-403 in the Town of Pelham, Regional Municipality of Niagara (see attached plan).
The proposed Zoning By-law Amendment would rezone the lands from the site-specific ‘R1-64’ (Residential 1) to the site-specific ‘R1-128’ (Residential 1) zone which would require a minimum rear yard of 7.5 metres and prohibit any building or structure, including but not limited to, storage sheds, garages, pool houses, swimming pools, decks and gazebos within 7.5 metres of the rear lot line. This represents a reduction to the current minimum rear yard requirement of 15 metres.
